Chapter 247 - 249: Inducing Lactation

Chapter 247: Chapter 249: Inducing Lactation

Although she’d never been married in the post-apocalypse, she wasn’t entirely unfamiliar with the topic of nursing.

It was mainly because a former teammate had always been going on about it, so she’d picked up a thing or two.

Some mothers have trouble producing milk after childbirth. When that happens, you have to find a way to get it flowing—to induce lactation.

In other words, Luan Ting had to...

Su Luoluo blushed with shame just thinking about it.

Especially with the little pups nearby.

Ever since her belly started showing, everyone had unspokenly agreed to let her focus on the pregnancy.

Thinking back, it really had been a long time since she and Luan Ting had been intimate.

Su Luoluo was both mortified and nervous, wondering how Luan Ting would react.

When Cai Xia heard Luan Ting agree, she wasn’t the least bit embarrassed. She even made sure to add, "Remember, you have to be a bit firm, or the milk won’t come out."

Su Luoluo: "..."

If a hole could have opened up in the ground, she would have dived right in.

Luan Ting, however, listened intently and even asked for more details, which Cai Xia recounted one by one.

The two of them were discussing it so vividly right in front of her.

As Su Luoluo listened, she started to feel detached, as if they weren’t even talking about her body anymore.

’Shouldn’t they spare a thought for my feelings? Is it really okay to discuss this so openly in front of me?’

Evidently, neither of them noticed. By the end, Su Luoluo had gone completely numb and given up resisting.

’It was clear they weren’t paying any attention to her at all.’

The little wolf pup on Luan Ting’s shoulders, however, would occasionally peek out to look at her. It wasn’t shy at all, and sometimes it even seemed to wink.

Su Luoluo’s numb heart instantly melted at the sight of the adorable little white wolf.

’He’s so cute! He’s sucking on his little paw, his eyes blinking rapidly.’

’I never knew wolf pups could be this adorable.’

Su Luoluo felt her heart melt as she watched.

’But Luan Ting’s fur is gray. I wonder why this little pup’s fur is white.’

As if sensing their Mother was right in front of them, the two little wolves nestled under Luan Ting’s arms—one gray, one red—twisted around to look at Su Luoluo as well.

They saw Su Luoluo’s gaze fixed on the little white wolf on his neck.

The two pups under his arms quickly let out a little "AWOO!"

Hearing the two pups’ unhappy yelps, Su Luoluo walked over and reached out to take them in her arms.

Luan Ting was still talking to Cai Xia. He was surprised when Su Luoluo suddenly approached and reached for the pups. But when he saw how eagerly they were looking at her, he shifted his arms to the side, making it easier for her to take them.

The newborn pups weighed almost nothing. They were so light that for a moment, Su Luoluo felt like she was holding air. Only after holding them for a little while did their weight feel real.

She walked carefully to the cradle and gently placed the two little wolf pups inside.

The moment their paws touched the bedding, the two pups had completely different reactions.

The one on the left immediately started to frolic, happily crawling deeper into the cradle.

The pup on the right, however, reached out with its tiny wolf paw and clung tightly to Su Luoluo’s hand, refusing to let go. It nuzzled its head against her hand again and again, making it impossible for her to pull away.

Su Luoluo tried stroking his head to soothe him, but he didn’t loosen his grip.

Meanwhile, the little white wolf still on Luan Ting’s neck saw its Mother doting on the other pups and let out another unhappy "AWOO!"

Su Luoluo’s head snapped toward the little white wolf. She wanted to go get him, but the pup clinging to her hand wouldn’t let her leave. She was trapped in a dilemma.

Seeing that Su Luoluo still hadn’t come over, the little white pup let out another yelp.

This time, Luan Ting reacted. He shot a glance at the little gray wolf in the cradle. The pup instantly released its grip and became perfectly behaved.

With her hand finally free, Su Luoluo took the little white wolf from Luan Ting’s neck and placed it in the cradle.

The cradle had been made quite large, in anticipation of multiple pups.

All three little wolf pups could frolic, tumble, and crawl around inside it with plenty of room.

Yesterday, Su Luoluo had only gotten a quick look. She knew she had given birth to three pups with different colored fur, but hadn’t noticed any other distinctions.

Now, as she leaned over the cradle to get a closer look, she discovered that the three pups’ eye colors were also different.

The red pup had red eyes, the gray pup had green eyes, and the white one, astonishingly, had deep blue eyes.

’If Luan Ting weren’t the only Werewolf among her Beastmen, and if she hadn’t been with any other werewolves, Su Luoluo would have suspected the pups weren’t his.’

’Otherwise, how could a Beast Father with gray fur have pups with three completely different coat colors?’

’Luckily, all three pups resembled Luan Ting. Otherwise, this would be really hard to explain.’

One moment the three pups were vying for her attention, the next they were all playing together. But they would also sometimes fight over a single beast skin blanket, and Su Luoluo would have to separate them.

She was bending over to separate the pups when, in the next instant, her entire body went rigid. Luan Ting was being far too direct—he had just kissed her on the lips.

She said in surprise, "Luan Ting, you..."

Luan Ting’s voice was low and pleasant. "Don’t be nervous. Relax."

’Relax?’

’How could she possibly relax in a situation like this?’

Cai Xia might have left, but three little pups were right in front of them, staring at her with wide, innocent eyes.

Luan Ting noticed her expression and a hint of a smile touched his eyes. "So shy in front of your own pups? They’re just little. There’s no need to be embarrassed."

’That may be true, but still...’

’Su Luoluo couldn’t help but feel like they were setting a bad example for the children.’

’Wait, when did Luan Ting become so shameless?’

"Cai Xia said that since you just gave birth, your body probably hasn’t adjusted yet, which is why you’re not producing enough milk. But if a Beastman gets close to his female, it can help her start lactating."

He said it so frankly, but Su Luoluo only felt more and more mortified.

’What on earth is this?’

It all felt far too intimate. Su Luoluo felt like she had absolutely no privacy left.

’Does this make it seem like *I’m* the desperate one?’

But looking at the pups, she knew she had to accept it for now.

What made it even more humiliating was that the three little wolf pups were staring at her with wide, innocent, teary eyes.

Finally, after a long, intimate moment, they were successful.

Once her milk came in, the pups smelled its sweet scent and immediately scrambled closer.

By now, Su Luoluo was drenched in sweat, her face flushed crimson with embarrassment. ’What is happening?!’

Luan Ting pulled back, his expression stern, but it held a sharp intensity—the look of a man at his limit.

He pulled his hands free and said to Su Luoluo, "Luoluo, go ahead and nurse them now!"

With that, his face a mask of restraint, he used every ounce of his self-control to leave the room.

After Luan Ting left, Su Luoluo let out a huge sigh of relief and finally caught her breath. But when she saw the three little wolves before her, a new headache began.
